You are not going to believe this but it just happened to me.

I have been using the same XP disc on one PC for 5 years OK .

So today I added 1Gig of ram that’s all just 1Gig .

Re-booted and wait for it > MS notice> Due to significant changes to your hardware please reactivate your MS product Ummm is that a significant change me thinks not. Oh what pain in the arse they are. Phoned them and gave the number on screen> he gave me the new code. Talk about thick he gave me six sets of numbers I said I need seven sets of numbers to activate, I have given you seven, nope you ain`t, >he said I will give them to you again so yep you guessed it SIX sets again, after half an hour he then admitted he was wrong [surprise, surprise] its ok I said you are paying for the phone call with that another person interrupted and apologised for the mess up. It must have been his superior Thank heavens MS dont make anything that sucks because it wont work

That is a really strange one..I have dealing with Microsoft nearly every day with work etc, but that is the first I have ever heard of that...Erm MS Techs/customer support can be a bit dim at times..

Exactly still trying to work it out, as I have changed a MOBO/CPU on many a PC and never had to re-activate The thing is I have the XP disc without SP 1/2/ or 3 on it thats how old it is Yes I have to laugh its better than being MAD. Oh I am MAD I have the certificate to prove it
